Denton, TX Sirens

[bigtuna7O]

So I was driving through Denton last weekend when I stumbled upon what looked like an unmistakable Thunderbolt setup. It's out front of Fire Station #4. I've scoured the forum for Denton siren info and haven't found anything about any Thunderbolts in Denton proper, but take a look at this setup and tell me what y'all think.



Looks a whole lot like an old Thunderbolt setup re-purposed as an utility pole.







The piping almost looks like re-purposed blower piping, though I may be getting ahead of myself. Once you start drawing conclusions it doesn't stop.



Seems like a pretty classic T-bolt setup. Additionally, Fort Worth (30 miles south) used this platform setup exclusively.
Here's an example:

It's right outside an old fire station so I don't know what else it could be. What do y'all think? Is it possible they had at least one Thunderbolt?

I'd say it's very likely, especially when you consider the fact that there's a 3t22 at the State School.
I could probably dig up some old photos that would tell us more.

EDIT: historical street view coughed this up.

That's most definitely a former electrical transformer site. The crossarm at the top of the pole is the same as in the historical imagery. The holes in the platform are also a giveaway as well that betrays ex-thunderbolt.

That's what I suspected originally, it was an electrical transformer platform. But as you can see in Scottsbluff, it goes either way.

Jared with the clutch street view find! My hopes and dreams are dashed against the rocks but your sleuthing skills are impressive nonetheless.

Hah, thanks. I still think it's very possible that they did, in fact, have at least a few Thunderbolts in their CD system...
